Twilight
E-Lo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

鬧市中 日落下步向禁地 為髮白燙金
夜店中 浪漫在情調細膩 雙雙薄霧下探秘

乾杯一刻拋個媚眼嗎
肆意酒精交接耳邊話
伏特加一溝太辣了嗎
芬芳青春亦來自少艾吧
黃昏乾脆 放任派對
何妨拋開那顧慮
靈魂一衰退 快活散去
餘暉也催淚
偏不願進睡

黃透的 落葉自在裡降下 如遍地散花
遇上花 浪蝶驟然共舞吧 一息蕩漾別記掛

不需為艷遇記掛
不需摘下霧裡花
不休為謝絕老化
給枯樹都開滿花

黃昏乾脆 放任派對
何妨拋開那顧慮
靈魂一衰退 快活散去
餘暉也催淚

人生乾脆 徹夜派對
來狂歡吹散畏懼
靈魂的親吻 永未散去
餘暉裡相聚
貪歡沒有罪





越悼念越懷念無力再現 金色一片天
來讓那陳年皮囊再上陣 未變

Overall Meaning

In the song "Twilight" by E-Lo, the lyrics depict a vibrant and lively urban setting at dusk, where the singer is walking towards a forbidden place with hair bleached white. The atmosphere is described as romantic and delicate in a nightclub, with pairs exploring mysteries in the light mist. The imagery of a bustling city transitioning into the night sets the scene for a sense of adventure and intrigue.


The lyrics mention toasting with a drink and seductively fluttering eyelashes, suggesting a carefree and indulgent atmosphere where alcohol flows freely and conversations flow in close proximity. The mention of vodka being too harsh is juxtaposed with the idea that the fragrance of youth also stems from experiences with substances and recklessness, reflecting a theme of youthful rebellion and hedonism.


As the twilight falls, the lyrics suggest embracing the party atmosphere without hesitation and leaving behind concerns or inhibitions. The fleeting nature of joy and the inevitability of time passing are acknowledged, with even the lingering afterglow of the twilight prompting tears of nostalgia. The refusal to embrace sleep symbolizes a desire to savor the present moment and avoid facing the passage of time.


The imagery of falling yellow leaves and dancing butterflies symbolizes the beauty of fleeting moments and unexpected encounters. The lyrics advocate for embracing spontaneity and rejecting the fear of aging, instead encouraging a mindset of blossoming even in adversity. The carefree attitude towards romantic encounters and the transient nature of experiences are emphasized as integral elements of living life to the fullest.


The final verses celebrate the idea of a never-ending party, where fears are dispelled and the soul finds solace in the embrace of companionship. The reunion within the twilight's glow signifies the comfort found in shared experiences and the defiance of societal expectations. The lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia for past glories and an eagerness to rekindle the vitality of youth, embodying a spirit of unapologetic enjoyment and resilience in the face of change.

LYRICS

The visions dancing in my mind
The early dawn, the shades of time
Twilight crawling through my windowpane
Am I awake or do I dream?
The strangest pictures I have seen
Night is day and twilights gone away

With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You came down to me from the open skies
Its either real or its a dream
Theres nothing that is in between...

Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me.

Across the night I saw your face
You disappeared without a trace
You brought me here, but can you take me back?
Inside the image of your light
That now is day and once was night
You lead me here and then you go away.

Its either real or its a dream
Theres nothing that is in between...

Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me.

(you brought me here, but can you take me back again? )

With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You came down to me from the open skies
Its either real or its a dream
Theres nothing that is in between...

Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, twilight, twilight, twilight.

Why does this song feel like something I’ve been missing my whole life

@decimalross

So so many ELO tunes make me feel that. What a gift

@japonsubtitulado

Cuz you've been missing this your whole life

@EHyde-ir9gb

All their songs feel like the dreams of the future we would live in by those before us.

@benjaminlopez7272

Because this song represent the fact of remember yourself, feeling like you've been travel years to find you now, on the future. ELO songs are profoundly spiritually, a sea full of symbolism.

@mrthewubbie

I know right? I ran across Daikon a few years back and was watching it, my wife of 25 years walked in, and it turns out it was her favorite song in high school. It just gives and gives. 😊
